People who catch coronavirus after two jabs do not have the same symptoms as the unvaccinated, new research has shown.
The ZOE Covid Symptom study, a research project with analysis from King’s College London, collects information from thousands of people on their symptoms and made the discovery, the Mirror reports.
The well-known, official symptoms of coronavirus are a high temperature, a new, continuous cough and a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.

But scientists now believe double-jabbed people who catch the virus show different signs, namely:
headache
runny nose
sneezing
sore throat
They wrote in the study: "Generally, we saw similar symptoms of Covid-19 being reported overall in the app by people who had and hadn’t been vaccinated.
"However, fewer symptoms were reported over a shorter period of time by those who had already had a jab, suggesting that they were falling less seriously ill and getting better more quickly."
They added: "Curiously, we noticed that people who had been vaccinated and then tested positive for COVID-19 were more likely to report sneezing as a symptom compared with those without a jab."
The researchers urged anyone who experienced sneezing after getting a vaccine to take a Covid test to make sure they have not caught the virus.
People who became infected after having just one jab reported the same four symptoms, plus a persistent cough.
Over 33 million people in the UK are fully vaccinated against Covid and more than 45 million have had their first dose.
Vaccinations are crucial to preventing deaths or serious illness and have proven to reduce the number of hospitalisations.
While being vaccinated gives you more protection, you could still contract and pass on the virus - and if you test positive, you still have to self-isolate.
